A Leadership for Peace: How Edwin Ginn Tried to Change the World - Tapa dura

"This book presents little-known and new material regarding a 'leading' figure in the late 19th and early 20th century American peace movement-the Boston educational book publisher and originator of the World Peace Foundation, Edwin Ginn. It does something more, which is to exhibit nearly all of the strategic and intellectual dilemmas that are faced by the internationalist counterparts of Edwin Ginn and the World Peace Foundation today." -- Alan K. Henrikson, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy "Rotberg's biographical study of Edwin Ginn is a fresh addition to peace studies and a timely reflection on how civic leaders struggled to come up with innovative visions to make peace in the world when Western nations were becoming increasingly bellicose during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries." -- Journal of American History

A Leadership for Peace is about Edwin Ginn's personal attempt to change world attitudes regarding the dangers of arming for war by appealing to logic, reason, and common sense.
